Broome County High Point Trip Report

Didn't follow Gary Fallesen's book here, but see his map. I parked at the intersection of Hawkins and
Walker Roads and bushwhacked NE up to the flat area supposedly containing Slawson BM. Passed the
power line on the way. I walked all over kingdom come up there, zigzagging, crisscrossing, walking spirals
and circles and the perimeter, but never found the BM. Big disappointment. Top is surrounded by B&B
Gun Club Postings.
Found my way to China Rd and parked E of area #2. The lay of the land here is so distinctive you can
almost pick the step when you are crossing the county line. Slawson BM area is almost surely the higher of
the 2 places.
Trip Statistics: hours, miles, elevation gain in feet = (2, 2.5, 650) for the two areas.
